"Today I am very happy and equally worried. Thank you to the 100+ customers who sent us a wonderful sustainability letter. Thanks to all the creative, brave and dedicated Futerranes for doing such a wonderful job. Thank you for qualifying as a supplier of these climate solutions to our industry.

Great to see Futerra take it a step further. I hope more actors will follow suit.”
